Grape Varieties

Winemaker Comments

This wine was made from grapes which were specifically harvested with rose in mind and was not made from ‘bled juice’, a by product of red wine making. This allowed us to harvest at a balling which would translate to a respectable alcohol. The fruit was destemmed, crushed and received an average of 1,25 hours skin contact in the press before the pressing cycle commenced. This limited skin contact period was conducted in order to minimise the overtly herbaceous character. Wine The Rose is refreshingly dry. The nose bursts with cherry, strawberry and tropical fruit aromas which are followed by a fresh, yet juicy palate which finishes enticingly clean.
